Now with two locations, Le Garde Robe rests comfortably within the current Paris bar à vins format.
In front, a wine shop with a good selection of estate-bottled wines. In back, a place to drink them, accompanied by charcuterie and cheese.
This Oberkampf shop recently joined the cave-à-manger wave, serving simple simple, direct fare to accompany the natural, terroir-driven wines on the shelves.
A small, thoughtful collection of natural wines lines the wall at this Oberkampf shop, where you can snack on charcuterie and cheese while enjoying a bottle, at zero corkage. There’s more space at the second location, in the 20th.
Lavinia is the closest thing Paris has to a wine superstore, with a large international selection. The upstairs wine bar attracts a well-suited after work crowd.
This bar-à-vins offers a small menu of (mostly) cold and hot dishes, bottles to take home, and a natural and organic wine list.
Mark Williamson’s landmark wine bar turned 30 in 2010. It’s packed with suits from the Bourse at lunch, and an Anglo-heavy crowd in the evenings.
Lovely Legrand occupies an enviable place off the galerie Vivienne. Mainly a shop, there is a room with a bar and a few tables for a drink and a snack on the spot.
An addres for a decent glass of wine in the Latin Quarter, and bottles to go, too.
A bare bones room lined with shelves of natural wines, a tiny kitchen turning out simple and dishes; this doesn’t immediately feel like the kind of place a person would cross town for. And yet many do. Booking is imperative.
A truly mixed crowd packs this Oberkampf wine bar, for natural wine and small plates.
This wine bar, run by the inimitable Tim Johnston (a Scot!) is frequented by loyal regulars and hefty handful of Anglo visitors, happily drinking a bottle taken from the shelves or eating something from the simple, meaty menu. This might be the only place in Paris to get haggis. Bottles to go, too.
Crêpes up front and pork (Ibaïona) in the rear. It’s standing room only at Yves Camdeborde’s tapas and wine bar, a hit since it opened in fall of 2009. Go during the off hours or be prepared to be get to know the person next to you very, very well.
Olivier Camus runs one of the most respected caves of natural wine in the city. In the evenings, it becomes a table d’hôte. Sunday nights are à la carte, the rest of the week it’s a four-course, no-choice menu.
On a lovely corner near the Place des Victoires, Les Fines Gueules adheres to the good-ingredients-prepared-simply formula. Open every day, noon-11:30 p.m.
